Synopsis
Boileau has traditionally been regarded as the spokesman of French neo-classicism, but some elements of scholarship have discounted the importance of neo-classical doctrine in general and of Boileau's particular contribution to it. Many critical approaches have stressed instead the liveliness and wit of Boileau's poems, his love of language and his passionate temperament. Mr Pocock uses these critical approaches to demonstrate in detail how Boileau's verve, love of contrasts, and essentially dramatic imagination animate the major poems. But he also argues that such approaches do not in themselves suffice to explain Boileau's special qualities. Neo-classicism was an important element in the intellectual life of Europe in the most critical period of the decline of Christianity and the rise of rationalism and science. Mr Pocock proposes a reformulation of those views which take account not only of modern criticism but also of Boileau's commitment to neo-classicism and his embodiment of it in his work.

Condition: Gut. 215 Seiten / p. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Boileau has traditionally been regarded as the spokesman of French neo-classicism, but recent scholarship has discounted the importance of neo-classical doctrine in general and of Boileaus particular contribution to it. Modern critical approaches have stressed instead the liveliness and wit of Boileaus poems, his love of language and his passionate temperament. -- Mr Pocock uses these new critical approaches to demonstrate in detail how Boileaus verve, love of contrasts and essentially dramatic imagination animate the major poems. But he also argues that such approaches do not in themselves suffice to explain Boileaus special qualities. Neo-classicism was an important element in the intellectual life of Europe in the most critical period of the decline of Christianity and the rise of rationalism and science. Mr Pocock proposes a reformulation of the traditional view which takes account not only of modern criticism but also of Boileaus commitment to neo-classicism and his embodiment of it in his work. The case is argued in an introductory survey of neo-classical doctrine and a detailed analysis and discussion of L'Art Poetique. -- As an account of Boileaus poetry and its background, and a new synthesis of critical thought about Boileau and his significance, this book will appeal to French specialists and to those interested in European intellectual history, as well as to the student who requires a lively and reliable introduction.
